Have you watched Farscape recently? does it hold up?
>>
>>220561696
I last watched it from beginning to end back in 2013. But I've rewatched a shit ton of favorite episodes like Crackers Don't Matter and Look at the Princess over the years. Absolute kino show

It might be the best televised sci-fi ever.

Scorpius best character.
I'd love to know if they intended on having him be a major part of the show from the get-go, or if he just owned the role to such a degree that they had to keep bringing him back.
He's basically the second protagonist by S4.

2023. Oh hell yeah. It was even a little better than I remembered. I thought it took the whole first season to get everything in place, but it was actually only about the first ten or so episodes.

I actually felt bad for Harvey when I thought they killed him off.
>>
>>220562141
He was intended to replace Crais cause they realized Crais could never actually catch Crichton without killing him. They wanted a villain who would chase him but not murder him on the spot.

I watched it years back and while it was ok and looked cool, it was clearly a case of the story existing solely as a vehicle for the art.

The first movie has so much atmosphere and dread while also having that tongue-in-cheek humorous vein, none of the sequels were able to come close. It's essential Y2K horror.

2 is fun but really lazy, where the main girl just gets convenient visions whenever the plot needs to move forward, whereas in the first movie you had to WaTcH fOr ThE sIgNs and it was therefore much more suspensful and satisfying.

3 is mediocre but carried hard by Mary Elizabeth Winstead who gives a performance way too good and way better than the movie deserves. It also does have some fun kills.

4 is dogshit.

5 is a fun return to form, with some great death sequences, although the climax is a bit too silly with him squaring off with evil Tom Cruise, but with a great twist ending.

6 is solid all around but there's nothing all that remarkable about it either, aside from the hospital death sequence.

Why did they make Zhaan's comeback in S4 some VR game plot, instead of actually doing something of substance?
They could totally have had her ascend to a non-corporeal being, and then they could have ditched the makeup that was making the actress ill.

I had to stop after a while because it became too repetitive and tasteless.
liked some of it when it first came out, watched it most weeks. saw some of it again in the decades that followed, episodes here and there.
left it alone for a long time but a few months ago I found they'd made a sort of - film' add on to wrap up the series.
it was pretty lame, but only in keeping with the series itself. usual sort of thing as usual, one character going blind for 30 minutes like seemingly happened in every scifi/action series throughout the 80s and 90s.
i think people who like lightweight scifi drama will like it, production quality is good, the look is unique and it manages to keep going with a very small scale universe. acting is alright, the main guy is the weakest one and looks like he's hyper self aware he's on camera.
the girls are pretty.

Actually he is correct.
Shows back then weren’t really created for binge watching. At most, someone might have a TiVo device and catch up on a week or two at once. But when you binge watch you can tell they reused shit a lot to stretch the budget. Same with Stargate

It's not the crew of Moya that is the problem, it's the alien planet they land on that can understand them perfectly. John should be able to understand the aliens, but they shouldn't be able to understand him.

It was basically a Star Trek first contact episode they adapted without too much thought.

I absolutely adored watching Crichton and Aeryn fall in love. It was a real kick in the balls when clone Crichton died and Aeryn was so cold to prime Crichton.
>>
>>220563045
it was watched with the whole family and had something for everyone to enjoy.
stuff like farscape was made for a similar audience to friends and buffy the vampire slayer - but was of a higher quality than either.
i'm not even a big fan of it, but the audience was clear.
those people will have then grown older but still enjoy it, and the type that will spend time each day posting on this board are another subsection, and beyond that who'd bother to post on a thread specific to it is another.
puppetry was used in all kinds of practical effects in film and TV. you must have been fist fucked by a family member as a child if you have some major aversion to puppets due to your shared empathy with them.

The first time Crichton meets Dargo and Zhan, they can understand him, he just can't understand them. You are seeing it from Johns perspective.
Everybody who goes down to the alien planet already has translator microbes by that point. They are in theory translating both outgoing and ingoing for their host.
You can keep nitpicking the concept of universal translators if you want, but its a huge waste of time. If you don't allow this hand wave then every episode would need to spend a stupid amount of time just getting characters to be able to communicate at all.

that's not shown to be the way it works in other episodes.

The most skippable episodes are the middle chunk of season 1, but they are still pretty good for building character dynamics and character backstory stuff. I wouldn't really call them skippable. The episodes are enclosed like a TNG ep but the character stuff follows through the whole show. Even the worst episodes in that season have cool muppets and crazy shit going on.
Scorpius is introduced at the end of the first season and thats when the show becomes great.

1st season is just kind of decent scifi. The end of the 1st season seriously ups the stakes and shit goes increasingly off the rails in batshit entertaining ways.
The best thing about it is getting to watch the main character go nuts. By the end he's strapping nukes to his groin and giving speeches about being American to the emperor of a psychotic lizard race.
The series real main antagonist is introduced near the end of season 1 and the relationship between him and John is a treat to watch unfold. In my opinion Scorpius is one of the greatest sci fi villains ever.
Also every episode has some new weird alien shit going on too.
It's not obvious in the first season where the show is going but once you get into season 2 it's a rollercoaster of space crazy. Also Rygel

I /just/ finished a rewatch. It made a lot more sense after reading the goal for the series was "Trek but emotions". The gap between the practical stuff which looks top tier and the PS2 visual effects is amazing, similar to Babylon 5, just proving that putting the effort in to smear some latex on people (or even using muppets) stands the test of time so much better than whatever the vfx department is doing.

>What does this show do well?

>>220567994
Says, it's about FAMILY, but unironically. The crew all being stuck together and alternately loving and hating each other is the bread and butter. There are more "Star Trek-y" episodes, even a few with some big ethical dilemma (one that comes to mind is a time travel episode where they have to resolve a peace they just fucked up).
It takes them a while to find the framing of John having some key knowledge Scorpy wants to have, and that then is the background motivation to most of the rest of the seasons. Which is really a tool for drilling into characters and motivations, quite literally thanks to a little injection into John's brain.

Classic anime with a gratuitous shower scene like all 90's anime. There was an OVA and a movie.
A giant unkillable penis headed alien monster is the inciting threat.
Genuinely worth checking out if you haven't seen it, I think the ova is MAYBE 6 episodes. Its got a cool nippon-punk space opera kind of aesthetic.

What the fuck, anon. Zeiram is a live action movie, in the style of Terminator/Alien/Predator, that got a sequel movie and a 6 episode OVA a few years later.
Stop being a f/a/g, and get it right.

As for Grayza being pregnant in PKW, I think the actual reason for that is that the actress was pregnant for real, but it the idea that Grayza intentionally got herself pregnant with John's child for nefarious career advancing reasons, is a interesting plot thread you could pursue.

Farscape gets too silly for me.
The good is there's a really strong cast of characters and episodes that aren't all that well written plot wise can be really well written for the character interplay. That's not a backhanded compliment and I don't think the show should be anything besides episodic adventures of fish out of water man and his motley crew. I genuinely think as Farscape treats its plot as more important than just being a frame story for the crew to bounce off one another, it's a worse show for it.
>>
>>220575459
Disagree entirely. The best thing about Farscape is how the larger story arcs almost sneak up on you, along with the whole relationship between John and Scorpius and how that develops over the course of the show.
The wacky space adventures stuff almost serves to lull you into a false sense of security, before they dump a metric tonne of kino in your lap.

>>220575662
I dunno man between eating a revolver and watching the peacekeeper wars the revolver looks mighty tempting.
>>
>>220575700
You gotta cut peacekeeper wars some slack. It was the best they could do under the circumstances. They got cancelled while filming season 4, and they were expecting to get a 5th season to finish the show properly.
Peacekeeper Wars was made well after the fact with a sci fi channel budget, and a bunch of the shit they had from the show was lost and they just had to make do.
At the very least, the climax of it is pretty fucking great, even if a lot of the make up and shit was significantly worse and the story was a season crammed down into a mini series.

the only thing I don't like about Peacekeeper wars is the way they killed Jool, and the fact that the whole plot point of the Scarrans needing a certain flower to stop them reverting to animal level intelligence is just completely ignored.

Makeup majorly fucks your skin up & the makeup industry knows that so their solution is more makeup to cover up the fucked up skin so it's an endless cycle which is why you get female celebs becoming billionaires because of their makeup brands.

I don't understand your hangup on translator microbes.
Of course a biological ship that travels FTL and to unknown areas would have a stock of translator microbes.
Most worlds have already been infected with them, even worlds like the I, ET world.
Which means that the I, ET world has been visited by races that use the translator microbes before, they just don't have proof of it, but strongly suspect that extraterrestrial life does exist.
We even know that at least one race, Sikozu's race, the Kalish, can't use translator microbes.
Whatever John did back in time in 1985 on Earth wasn't enough to introduce the microbes to Earth.
However, when John and Moya's crew visited Earth in 2003, and were freely passing out the microbes to heads of state and others, I'm sure that was sufficient to start their spread on Earth.
As soon as Earth gets their shit together enough to be involved with intergalactic politics, they will have the bonus of translator microbes to interact with other races and species.
Probably the greatest gift John gave the Earth, the ability to communicate across language barriers.
